Within MRI systems using superconducting magnets, which consequence occurs when helium boils off, raising coil temperatures?

A)Quench accelerates; field collapses rapidly
B)RF noise abruptly decreases globally
C)Image resolution sharply elevates visibly
D)Coolant viscosity significantly increases steadily

💡 Explanation

A quench occurs because the Meissner effect ceases to operate on superconducting coils losing superconductivity. Because magnetic flux lines suddenly penetrate; therefore, magnetic energy dissipates as heat, quenching the magnet, rather than maintaining the field.
